The Rally in the Gorge

August 21-25 2019

It's three rallies in one

Wake up, take in an early presentation, then hit the road to ride the twisties that only the Gorge can dish out. Grab a bite along the way and return to
the fairgrounds for an evening of camaraderie with other like-minded sport bike enthusiasts. Do it all again the next day!

Go for high adventure as you ascend a peak, ride back down an alluvial fan and follow a ridge-line back to your home base at the Hood River Fairgrounds.
Bike a little muddy? No problem, take advantage of our on-site bike wash, then settle in for an evening of fun entertainment with friends new and old as you
bask in between two majestic Cascade peaks.

Awesome roads and stunning scenery kick-off the ultimate sport touring getaway. There’s no shortage of either here. Couple them with a world-class
rally facility and setting that’s not too big, not too small, and you’ll know you’ve found your sport-touring mecca at the Rally in the Gorge.

Rally Highlights & Features

EXPLORE

Experience some of the best riding in North America today. The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area with its diverse topography features hundreds of miles of paved roads
away from the main highways that weave their way between lush green forests, basalt uprisings and meandering river valleys. For dual sport adventure
types, the area is a rider's playground featuring a wide array of dirt and gravel roads, two track and single track.

exhibits specific to the area. Learn about the unique geology of the area in the morning and take in a world class attraction in the afternoon. The choices
are many.
